The examples of a “vertebrate” and an “invertebrate” that uses gizzards.
Introduction:
Gizzard is present in many birds. The hind part of the stomach is especially modified for grinding food. It is located between the saclike crop and intestine. Gizzards have a thick muscular wall and it may contain small stones that functions in the mechanical breakdown of seeds and other foods.
Summary Introduction
To give:
A general description about the structure and function of the gizzard and how it works.
